I have a textarea where I measure the textWidth and textHeight to make sure the user cannot enter more text than can fit in the text area. I also extended the textArea with a textHeightNow and textWidthNow that measure the textField's dimensions since they update w/out requiring validation. Now this works great for 90% of the embedded ...

Hello,
I recently deployed a Flash application to a server, and am now experiencing errors when making HTTPService requests. I have put what I believe to be the most permissive crossdomain.xml possible in the wwwroot folder, and still get the errors.
Interestingly enough, the error only seems to occur when the request is made from a d...

I have an application that requires resizing of a component that will be scaled up and down quite frequently. I noticed that when I scale the component, any filter I use on it will not scale with it. I realize this makes sense, but I was wondering if Flex had a tool built in that would allow me to scale the filter with the component. I k...

In an AS3 project, we can access loaderInfo in the first line of the root class' constructor. This means that the entire AS3 application can take advantage of the loaderInfo object.
However, in Flex, it seems that the loaderInfo object is not available until after the applicationComplete event is sent. This is problematic for me, as o...

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a preloader to show the load progress of the main swf, which has all of it's assets embedded. I found the factory class method as described on bit-101, but no load progress ever seems to show. The swf loads fine, but the bytesLoaded is always equal to bytesTotal and therefore the preloader is never called.

Today I wanted to add mouse-driven zoom and pan functionality to a pure AS3 project - something like the Google Maps interface. I was surprised that I couldn't find a good package or library to do this already - I'm using FlashDevelop rather than Flash CS3, so the nice VCam tool available as an FLA is no use.
There's nothing very compli...
